Carpe Diem Haiku – Yozakura


the gentle way
grass bends for the wind –
scarecrow lingers

  1. An absolutely fantastic haiku and the scarecrow painting you chose is enchanting!

    limp in the night
    the grass grows yellow
    scarecrow sighs

  2. I loved how you described the way we bend for the wind (the grass as a metaphor for us..) and how even when we do, something is left behind.

    I miss you poetry. I might stay a while today.
